none can alter the Words (Decisions) of <strong>Al</strong>laah. Surely there has reached you the<br />
information (news) about the Messengers (before you).} [Surah al-An`aam (6): 34]<br />
And <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل said:<br />
﴿إِنَّاُكَفَي نَاكَُُال م س تَه زِئِنيَُ﴾<br />
{Truly! We will suffice you against the mockers.} [Surah al-Ḥijr (15): 95]<br />
Sufyaan (al-Thawree) reported from Ja`far Ibn Iyyaas, from Sa`eed Ibn Jubair, that Ibn<br />
`Abbaas رضي ُاهلل ُعنهما said regarding the “mockers”: “They were al-Waleed Ibn al-<br />
Mugheerah, al-Aswad Ibn `Abd Yaghooth al-Zuhree, al-Aswad Ibn al-Muṭṭalib, Abu<br />
Zam`ah, al-Ḥaarith Ibn `Ayṭal, and al-`Aaṣ Ibn Waa’il al-Sahmee. So Jibreel came to the<br />
ﷺ complained to him about them. Then he ﷺ and he ,ﷺ Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
pointed towards al-Waleed, so Jibreel gestured towards his fingertips and said: ‘You (O<br />
Muḥammad) have been sufficed against him.’ Then he ﷺ pointed towards al-Aswad<br />
Ibn al-Muṭṭalib and Jibreel gestured towards his eyes, 314 saying: ‘You have been sufficed<br />
against him.’ Then he ﷺ pointed towards al-Ḥaarith Ibn `Ayṭal and Jibreel gestured<br />
towards his stomach, saying: ‘You have been sufficed against him.’ Then al-`Aaṣ Ibn<br />
Waa’il passed by and Jibreel gestured towards the sole of his foot, saying: ‘You have<br />
been sufficed against him.’ As for al-Waleed, he later stopped by a man from (the tribe<br />
of) Khuzaa`ah who was mounting feathers on an arrow for him, but the arrow struck<br />
his fingers and severed them. As for al-Aswad Ibn `Abd Yaghooth, he had ulcers<br />
growing out of his head, and he died because of them. As for al-Aswad Ibn al-Muṭṭalib,<br />
he went blind. The cause of that was that he once mounted under a gum tree and<br />
began calling out: ‘O my son, can’t you defend me? I am dead!’ His companions said:<br />
‘We do not see anything!’ But he kept saying: ‘O my son, can’t you protect me? I am<br />
perishing! I have been pricked with the thorns in my eyes!’ They said: ‘We do not see<br />
anything!’ He kept repeating the same until his eyes were blind. As for al-Ḥaarith Ibn<br />
`Ayṭal, he was afflicted with yellow bile in his stomach until his excrement emerged<br />
from his mouth and he died because of that. And as for al-`Aaṣ Ibn Waa’il, one day a<br />
thorn entered his foot 315 and caused it to be filled (with pus), and he died because of<br />
that.”<br />
314 (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said): Originally, the word “neck” is mentioned, and the correction has been made from<br />
“Durr al-Manthoor” of al-Suyooṭee.<br />
315 (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said): Originally, the word “head” is mentioned, and the correction has been made from<br />
“al-Durr” and “Majma` al-Zawaaid” (11113).<br />
